INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE'S JOHN LEONARD PRIZE WINNER OF THE PEN / HEMINGWAY AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION Ghana, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages, each unaware of the other. One will marry an Englishman and lead a life of comfort in the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The other will be captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the very same castle, and sold into slavery.
One of Oprah s Best Books of the Year, Homegoing follows the parallel paths of these sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi s extraordinary novel illuminates slavery s troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation. / Nominiert: British Book Award - Book of the Year (Overall), 2018.Nominiert: Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Fiction, 2017.Nominiert: Dylan Thomas Prize, 2017.Ausgezeichnet: PEN/Hemingway Award for Best First Novel, 2017
